Maintaining a good sitting posture, slightly tuck your chin downward. Holding your chin in this position, gently extend (arch) your neck. You will most likely feel a stretch in the front of the neck and possibly in the back of your neck. Breathe normally and hold 3-5 seconds. Start slowly and do a few a day, and work your way up to a couple sets of 5-10 reps. ​

While keeping your chin up and maintaining a good sitting posture, draw your shoulder blades downward and inward in a "V" shape. This should primarily be a movement with your shoulder blades only (and not an exaggerated shoulder extension), Breathe normally and hold 3-5 seconds. Start slowly and do a few a day, and work your way up to a couple sets of 5-10 reps. ​
